What is Wireless Radiation?
• Cell phones, Wi-Fi, • Wireless baby monitors
Bluetooth • Utility smart meters
• Laptops, tablets, • Gaming systems
Chromebooks • Cordless phones
• Smartboards, classroom • Cell towers/antennas (5G)
access points
• Wearables, home
assistants
• Wireless mice
and keyboards

What is 5G and IoT? 5G promises a lot...
Infrastructure
• Antennas 2-10 houses
• Installed on street lights,
utility poles, trash cans,
bus stops, buildings
• Huge power cabinets
• Significant aesthetic blight
• We can’t opt out
• Involuntary exposure to
radiation 24/7

Health Effects Wireless Radiation
• Skyrocketing cancer in adults
and children
• DNA damage
• Infertility/miscarriage
• Cognitive impairment
• Brain fog/Alzheimer’s
• Autism/ADHD
• Anxiety/depression
• Headaches/fatigue
• Sleep disorders
• Diabetes
• Heart irregularities Source: Americans For Responsible Technology

10“My industry’s behavior must improve.”
• Frank Clegg, Fmr. Pres.
Microsoft Canada
• In the technology
industry for 41 years
• “My industry must take a
more responsible
approach to researching
potential harmful effects
of new technology
BEFORE releasing to
market.”
11“No Longer a Subject for Debate.”

radiation causes harm. Education
14Why Don’t We Know?
• Telecom industry funds
mainstream media
• Wireless executives also
know there is harm
• Using the Big Tobacco
playbook to create doubt
• No product liability Source: Americans For Responsible Technology
insurance coverage for
wireless industry
• Fine-print warnings in cell
phone to keep off body
15FCC – The “Captured Agency”
• Current guidelines from 1996
• Only address thermal (heat)
harm, not biological
• We have no safety standards
in place
• EPA defunded in 1996
• FCC has no medical experts
• Revolving door between
industry and FCC
• Head of FCC former Verizon
attorney
16Implications of 5G
17Implications
• Property value decline
• “The more connected the
world gets, the more
vulnerable it becomes.” –
The Economic Times
• IEEE wireless 10x the Source: Americans For Responsible Technology
energy as wired
